16 “Let Jehovah the God of the spirits+ of all sorts of flesh*+ appoint over the assembly a man+

19 For there is an eventuality* as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality.+ As the one dies,* so the other dies;+ and they all have but one spirit,*+ so that there is no superiority of the man over the beast, for everything is vanity.

7 Then the dust returns to the earth+ just as it happened to be and the spirit+ itself returns to the [true] God+ who gave it.+

12 A pronouncement:

“The word of Jehovah concerning Israel,” is the utterance of Jehovah, the One who is stretching out [the] heavens+ and laying the foundation of [the] earth+ and forming the spirit+ of man* inside him.
